Humanity is living out the drama of the "original wound" of
mankind, where we "fell asleep", numbed, fractured, fragmented
from our original innate Beingness - our Original Self.
(Some call it our "Divine" or True Nature).
That Original Being became seen as something separate that
mankind continually tries to reconnect with - instead of
knowing it is already within us.
The shadow drama that we live in is a play of the split off
parts of consciousness - the splits in consciousness due to the
"original wound"; a perceived separation from the Essence of
who we are: our Original Being...
We fractured into illusions of self, disguises, rather than
retaining the truth of who we are - our true untouched
Beingness. We fractured into a life of suffering, pain and
struggle.
The "original wound" is a deep hole in the psyche of man -
the dark heart of mankind, a split in the Innocence of the Heart,
creating a shadow of the Real.
The "original wound" holds the phantoms and ghosts of pain
and suffering that separated into a shadow self, a shadow belief
in separateness, disempowerment, and victimization. Fear and
anger wield power from the shadows.
However, there is no real power in the shadow. It is a false power
based on false beliefs about ourselves and others that are only a
shadow of who we really are...
"The Shadow" aspect is just a mist, an illusion, an "imprint" in the
psyche of man; a consciousness like everything else. It is the
consciousness spawned from the belief in separateness...
A belief in separateness creates a consciousness of darkness and
fear. The mind of man functions from this consciousness. A
consciousness of separateness dominates our existence - creating
suffering. The fear feeds on fear creating more darkness.
But it is only a consciousness. It is not real. It manifests a
particular reality of darkness that you believe in.
But the consciousness of darkness is only a thin layer, a thin veil.
It creates much dysfunction, but it really has no power to sustain.
It gives the illusion of power to seemingly rob you of your Essence,
which frightens you.
You have become caught in the net of fear, thinking it is real. You
can emerge through this layer of darkness by becoming aware of
the Consciousness of your own Original Beingness - "The Divine"
within you. This consciousness of awareness creates a new reality,
a new consciousness. Whatever your consciousness is, that is your
reality. So shift the consciousness that you now hold onto and
create a whole new reality.
Love creates love. Fear creates fear. Hate creates hate.
Be mindful of what you create and how you create.
Don't create from the wounds of fear and separation.
Create from the Essence of your Being -
from the deeper Rhythms of your True Being...
The gift of "the shadow" is a call to Awareness,
a call to a change in consciousness...

Meditative Writings
c. 2004-2006
These writings came when I was practicing sitting meditation
nearly 2 hours a day. I don't remember what was going on
during this time period that would have allowed these words
to come. But I wanted to share these now as they seemed
relevant and appropriate to what we are all experiencing at
the moment, a "darkness" of mankind, "the shadow" aspect
of mankind, the real virus, that has emerged in so many ways...
Hopefully from this double pandemic, that has the ability to
suffocate, will be birthed a new consciousness...
It is our wake up call...
Namaste
